Preview R12: Changes v West Coast

[Kane McGoodwin]

Henderson's second half was reasonable. Was it enough to stop him being dropped?

Douglas, though, added literally nothing through the middle. Has only had maybe 2 good games this year. I'd go for:

Out: Douglas
In: Thompson

But I wouldn't be unhappy to see Unchanged either.

My gut says if Henderson comes out, Mackay comes back in, knowing the selectors.

Hendo was deplorable to 3 quarter time. His efforts at the ball are not up to Afl standard.

There is no way he stays in the team ahead of anyone!

In danger : Henderson Seedsman Milera Douglas
Poss ins : Thompson B. Crouch Otten Menzel

Seedsman nowhere near in doubt. Cheney would be though.

Seedsman?

Did you actually watch the game?

Sloane has been favouring a shoulder for a few weeks. Any chance we give him this week plus the bye off to get it right?

I didn't know that, but I noticed him hanging the right arm loosely and thought he would be going off, but he charged in afterwards with even more effort. Tough guy (am I allowed to use that word?).

I dont even know who to bring in for him though. Menzel plays forward so we would have to move everyone around. Same with bringing Mackay in because I dont want him playing Hb.

Seed? the flip. Not even close.

Mackay as hendo playing wing.

 

[BRL121]

Milera has to go out. He has been given enough chance and couldn't show anything against the training cones. It may be worth trying Menzel as his replacement: he should be match fit by now. My only reservation is that this week, at home against weak oppo, would have been a better time to try him out.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Our three game Mackay-free winning streak is almost over

 

[crowsontv]

Seedsman?

Did you actually watch the game?

Yeah
not doing enough not hard enough
there's a reason coll let him go
Cheney is tough for when the finals come

 

[1970crow]

100% on the money imo.

I doubt that Mackay is close to certain. I also doubt 2 outsides go out for a decade long outside failure and a pn inside only player. I think only 1 option on the cards. Thonmo back in for Mrouch. But I feel there's a chance he gets 2 more to really re-energise his body. I don't think Mackay pushes past either Mikera or Hendo. His rating gas been highly over-valued on here due to him bring acceptable. Clearly, that level of performance us starting to struggle to make the grade. Hence Thommo FINALLY having a rest.

Lol - if you were really watching the game tonight, you wouldn't make such a stupid post!

Seed was great tonight, particularly with his positioning & use of the ball.

No worries
you're obviously an expert

You don't need to be Einstein to realise the seed had a good game & far better than many others!

 

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

For me it's Hendo out, for anyone that can play half back. I've been hearing good things about wigg.

Hendo was definitely on the wing today with Atkins and Seedsman. Brodie Smith played off half-back the whole game.

 

[Redleg Crow]

In danger : Henderson Seedsman Milera Douglas
Poss ins : Thompson B. Crouch Otten Menzel

Seedsman? 22 disposals, 90% efficiency, 1 goal. 10 marks, 7 inside 50s? Not a chance of being dropped in any universe

Henderson moved to the wing after being terrible in defense in the first half.

 

[spenze]

Thommo is an obvious in, maybe Crouch, maybe Mackay, Maybe Menzel

I reckon Douglas is in trouble, Hendo should get pushed into the middle of the circle, Milera would be a chance to be rested

 

[Houston]

Seedsman? 22 disposals, 90% efficiency, 1 goal. 10 marks, 7 inside 50s? Not a chance of being dropped in any universe

Drop him because Collingwood let him go hurdurrrrrrrr

Seed was great tonight, particularly with his positioning & use of the ball.

His only poor game was against Geelong. Has been solid all season, without having an absolute breakout game yet.

Not at all.

Sloane has been favouring a shoulder for a few weeks. Any chance we give him this week plus the bye off to get it right?

I doubt it. He seems like the type of player you'd have to physically hold down to stop him from getting on the plane to Perth. If he was rested for any game it would have been at home vs St Kilda.

 

[1970crow]

Milera keeps getting caught far too often, thinks he's stronger than he actually is. I think it'll go Mackay and Thommo for Milera and Douglas. Dougie was ok last week but invisible tonight, with all the other mids dominating he's absolutely gone.

I like players who take the game on, especially kids. As he gets fitter and stronger, his attacking mindset will be a weapon. Must continue to back him in. Going back to Mackay in an outside role is so short sighted it's ridiculous. Mackay provides SFA in an outside role and has done for about 6 years. He's a nothing footballer and his role he was better at is now being performed at a really high level byba sub 30 game krud with a shit attitude. We've had our priorities skew-wif for bloody yonks.

 

[Gethepill]

Seedsman nowhere near in doubt. Cheney would be though.

Cheney wont get the chop has some pace and uses ball ok

 

[Huntercrow]

Out: Douglas, Henderson
In: B.Crouch, Menzel

What is it with the B Crouch love? He was only ok against Sturt. Hardly ready to face the cauldron in Perth.
